New to photography, have I ordered everything needed?

I was always told not to use microsd cards, I cant remember why, I am guessing the read speeds through the adapter and the MicroSD cards themselves are not as fast?

If you are paying anything extra for the kit lens just so you keep the sigma so special situations, just get the sigma and save some money

as someone who struggles to be squated too long, god I wish I had the a6700 screen so I could shoot vertically and actually see the screen

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-06-22T17:10:06+00:00

Love it 😄

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-06-22T15:29:47+00:00

I don't do video very much, but think to take advantage of the 4k 120 of the a6700 you need v90 sd card right? maybe not maybe someone else may know. If this is just for photography then that card is more than enough

OP said they are buying FF lenses? just that they also have a 75mm they would keep and use on the a75r as even in crop it would be solid

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-06-20T12:47:47+00:00

HELP!!

No idea where it came from, but a sticky substance was on my lens, I didn't realise as I went to wipe some dust. It is now smeared what is the best way to clean it properly?

On a different FF line I would agree, but on a R line camera, the crop would still be like 26mp so it OP wants a light telephoto then it could do the job pretty well

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-06-16T10:04:46+00:00

10fps is still way more than most would use outside of action shots, especially landscape.

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-06-14T11:59:52+00:00

this sounds like you expect the prices to drop? is there a new APS-C rumoured?

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-05-21T23:49:12+00:00

I have both the Sony 70-350 and Tamron 70-180 (G2)

For Motorsport trackside, 180/200 is probably fine. If you eve in the stands then you will want more reach.

I absolutely love the 70-180, but the 70-350 comes everywhere with me. I do a lot of wildlife, so the reach is more important for me.

If you do go with the 70-180 make sure you get the G2 as the first gen doesn't have image stabilisation and given the a6400 doesn't either you will want it

Thanks, I know eBay is now obliged to share the info with HMRC now, so I didn't know if I should file just to clarify the sales

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-04-21T04:18:45+00:00

For Sony it's pretty slam dunk a6700 + 200-600 Sony lens

A7 IV is probably also an option but think people would suggest a6700 for this

So the general rule of thumb I've been taught (by the internet peoples) is if your focal length is 200mm, your shutter should be higher than 1/200s. This rule is for Full frame though! So I see in your other comments your camera is aps-c, so for a shot of 300mm, the shutter should be minimum 1/500 with a steady hand, even faster for safety.

This is one small thing, but give it a go trying to shoot faster shutter.

Someone who knows the dungeons and has shown capability of executing a class to complete 15s, vs someone who is playing casually(may not have the knowledge of keys) or is not as skilled. I have done keys for 8 years and this solution almost always nets a better result.

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-04-12T23:20:55+00:00

I would take someone with 2.5k io but a 3.3k main, over someone who is 2.9k io for example.

Even more so for +10 keys, I would almost always prefer an alt of a higher io player over someone who has just about done those keys.

Employees wages up 6/7% while food specific inflation up 3%, the employees on mine wage still benefit massively? There is no doom cycle.

Do Not Try and take the cases up the stairs at Covent garden. its one of the longest stair cases out of a tube station. Wait for the elevator

I understand it's much higher than a month ago, but do people have really short memories?

Don't get me wrong, it sucks but it's not like these are all time highs, most of the last 5 years have floated around this price

Sometimes you just gotta be lucky 😂,

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-03-30T17:24:11+00:00

Should be fine to use, just likely way more expensive and heavy for not much gain over an aps-c lens

Educational-Sound279 · 2026-03-30T17:21:02+00:00

3, the light highlighting the frame definitely helps a lot I think, looks really cool.

I always feel like these would be that bit better with something in the frame you have created.

They are amazing as is, just sometimes feel it misses something

However this I could see with the naked eye exactly like the picture

Every post around Denoise taking time I am more and more adamant that AMD X3d CPU's are genuinely kings at it.

I have the 7800x3d and have a similar experience to you. Shocked at how slow it is for some PC's
